Of course, it didn't actually turn out the way that I wanted it to. The good news is that I got my stack back and more a few hands later when I hit a flush on the river and he hit a straight and he called the huge overbet. Sometimes, I really love No limit (as opposed to Pot Limit). I'll stick with PL though.

Now, this hand, I'm not so eager to stick it in. His range here has to be pretty tight when he fires a second bullet. What do you do? Also give me your thoughts on preflop. Obviously, I could have re-reaised; but I often opt with calling with position.

Second hand: min-raise the turn, fold to a re-raise or a river bet. This seems to work best against opponents who are tight or predictable. It gets you to showdown pretty cheaply and extracts value from weaker hands while failing to pay off your opponents those times you are beat.

Hand 1. I meant to put the results. Villain had T5o. Gnome. This guy was leading to every pot and mostly getting people to fold. My plan obviously backfired as he hit his 2nd pair; but the same result would have happened as this guy wasn't folding.

2nd hand was tough. To me, I thought I was at best chopping as Mr Anonymous said so I folded. Klopzi, I don't think I could ever fold after putting that much of my stack in. Almost the same with calling Gnome as that is half my stack. I used to always given the business (Brue) for calling the turn and folding river. Tough spot.
